Okay, I think I REALLY screwed myself over with this one. So, my older computer, which has ALWAYS been logged into my account broke, so I got a new computer and tried to sign into my account on that computer, but it didn't work. And do you want to know why?
Because I DELETED the Gmail account I used for my Minecraft.net and my Mojang Account. Now, it turns out that I actually deleted that account a long time ago, but forgot about it, and I never ran into this problem until now because my computer always instantly signed me in to my account on Mojang. But now that I have a new computer, I had to sign into my Mojang account using that deleted Gmail. I was able to almost sign in, but as soon as I tried to sign in, because I was using a new computer, I had to enter my Security Questions. The problem with that is, I don't remember them. So, I tried to reset
them - BUT YOU CAN'T RECEIVE A RESET EMAIL if the email you were using HAS BEEN DELETED. So, I tried making another Gmail with the same name, (which should have been easy considering that that Gmail was deleted) but because Google doesn't recycle Usernames, I couldn't make the new account because Google still thought that it was taken.
Okay, so I can't use my Minecraft.net or Mojang account if I have to use that email. So, the next best thing would be to import my accounts to a new email. But the problem with that is the fact that: I still need to technically sign in to do so. So, I tried to email Mojang with my problem to see if they could help me. That didn't work either. And do you wanna know why THAT didn't work? Because in order to email them I have to give proof that I have bought a Minecraft account (which is understandable). And that proof is in the form of a Transaction ID. Of course, because I have a new computer, I don't have that code on my computer. So, help.mojang.com suggested that I look for it in the EMAIL that was sent to me when I BOUGHT MINECRAFT. But I can't do that if that GMAIL ACCOUNT no longer EXISTS!!!
Whew, okay.
Now that I've said all of that, I have one, desperate question for anyone that might be reading this: How do I fix this?!
